Cut-Away Colt Model 1851 Navies

Spectacular Extremely Rare Documented Pair of Consecutively Serial Numbered Factory Cut-Away Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolvers

This from a nearly 3-year-old RIA auction. Any machinists out there with beaucoup time on their hands to perform their magic on a replica?

Doesn't say if the lot sold, but the pics are nice.

That is more than I paid for my house.

I'd love to do it as a project for myself.

If you do get your shop set up for one, do several using cheaper Pietta's (rather than Uberti's) from Cabela's and put me down as first on the list to buy one (yes, I noted that you said for yourself). It would make a perfect match with an unaltered Pietta insofar as a cased pair (just pistols/no accessories) is concerned.

I think there might be quite a bit of interest.

Be great for cleaning and lube, put some duct tape over the holes when you take it out, but at 63K maybe not.
